Greenwood mall shooting

[Cameramonkey]

I couldn't make it past Joy saying, "these military style weapons that kill thousands at once, or hundreds at once."

Those are called "bombs" lady. Guns literally dont do that.

It's like when they call guns "WMD".

No.
They're not.

That last guy before they read the brothers statement. Oof. What a tool. Obviously he DID need to carry a gun. He proved it. Effing wanker.

Giving him the benefit of the doubt, perhaps he was just trying to say, "it sucks that the world is a dangerous place, where people feel like they need to carry guns", but didn't articulate it well?

 

[jamil]

Sort of like when Ben Shapiro says "Facts don't care about your feelings".

And some would argue "My feelings don't care about facts".

Yeah, but isn’t that basically the definition of neurotic?

 

[actaeon277]

Yeah, but isn’t that basically the definition of neurotic?

Or... some words that the INGO mods wouldn't be happy with.

Had to pull out the Bible to go over the Parable of the Good Samaritan. Seems most of the people who are arguing against calling him that, only quote a certain amount. They say, see the Good Samaritan was good because they did nice things for the person, but that wasn't the point wasn't the physical acts that occurred, it was the mercy shown.

Luke 10:36 "Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?" 37 The expert in the law replied, "The one who had mercy on him." Jesus told him, "Go and do like-wise."

Which is more merciful, shooting a killer, or running away?

Don't forget, risking his own life, while others are running.

Doesnt matter what he meant. He is still wrong. Eli proved you DO need to carry guns. If we didnt need to carry guns, we wouldnt have attempted mass shootings, muggings, etc. (and wouldnt be talking about this)

He's not wrong, if he meant that it sucks that the world is a dangerous place. The world is a dangerous place. Unless you're a sadist, you likely find that state to be sub-optimal. I don't know of anyone who desires that the world be a dangerous place. Personally, I would prefer the world did not include murderous psychopaths that necessitate the use of deadly force in self-defense. But, indeed, the world is what it is.

They're FINE... You know what FINE means don't you? ****ed-up, Insecure, Neurotic and Emotional.

See also: John 15:13.

I guess we will just have to agree to disagree on this one.

The parable doesn’t address what should be done to the thieves if the good Samaritan had gotten there earlier.

I find myself sounding like my Dad or Grandfather more and more.
I tell people... it's an imperfect world. Deal with it.

I'm not sure what we're disagreeing on. If the guy was saying, "it sucks that the world is dangerous", then he's right and I agree with him. If he's actually saying, "it sucks that someone feels like they need to take a gun everywhere", then he's obviously wrong, and I disagree with him. I'm merely offering an interpretation that gives the guy the benefit of the doubt.

Exactly. And as @Cameramonkey says: the Greenwood Park Mall incident clearly demonstrates why it is wise to carry at all times.

I do know, nowadays LESS people ask me why I carry.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

DoggyMama tells me that she's glad that I do, even at home. My youngest granddaughter has asked me before. I told her it was because I wanted to be able to protect myself and anyone in our home from "bad guys".

This bunch of cackling ******* are dumber than ****.

Proving once again that democrats are morons.

 

[Yup!]
